2009 Season Review[edit]
The 2009 Season was particularly special for Mathoura as 5 out of 8 netball teams won Premierships. A Grade and B Grade were both comfortable winners whereas C Grade, C Reserve and the Under 13s had to go into extra time and then had to win by two goals once extra time had expired. Both Senior and Reserve Football squads made their first finals appearances for many years. The Seniors were defeated in the Elimination Final against Strathmerton and the Reserves were defeated by Jerilderie in the First Semi Final held at Mathoura. Nineteen-year-old Reserves on-baller Matthew Sparey won the McKenzie Medal, which is the League Best and Fairest as voted by the umpires.
The Senior and Reserve football squads both backed up their 2009 season by finishing 2nd and 1st on the competition ladder respectively. The Senior team were edged out of top position on the ladder by Yarroweyah as a result of a drawn game against Picola late in the Home and Away season. The Seniors were defeated in 'straight sets' in the finals, losing to Berrigan in the Qualifying Final then Strathmerton in the First Semi Final. The Reserve team defeated Picola United in the Second Semi Final, but were defeated by Picola United two weeks later in the Grand Final on a miserable day. The A Grade netball team won back-to-back premierships.
